I have to say that most times I can usually dictate what my characters do without too much effort.
Of course I usually don't put them in situations that would go contrary to their natures.
Here is a 'conversation' I had with a character in the fic I am currently working on.
"Jason, one of your officers is going to kill Dr. Klein for 'attacking' you."
Jason smirked. "Dr. Klein let's his Lab Rat run his office! That wuss couldn't punch his way out of a paper bag. My 'officer' would be demoted for the shooting, but I wouldn't kill him."
"Yes, you would. This situation is intense, you are already in a bad mood, and your a psychopathic madman."
"Oh, yeah. I'd blow him away, after demoting him, of course."
"Of course. I'll add that in."
See, you just have to know which buttons to push. Sometimes they supply me with better lines, but they almost always do what I say.
Its good to be the King!
